As soon as the middle-aged man in brocade robes raised his voice, a gentle old voice stopped him.
Everyone looked around and saw the old man sitting at the head of the main table slowly standing up.
The old man was dressed in a red robe, his gray hair was neatly styled, and he had a gentle smile on his square face.
This person is today's protagonist, Li Xiongxin, the owner of Changyi Villa who is in the first-class mid-level realm.
"Ha ha!"
After standing up, Li Xiongxin laughed at the military attaché, then took two steps towards the young military attache, slightly arched his hand, and said with a smile:
"It's my birthday today. I didn't expect that the government would send someone to congratulate me on my birthday. I'm so honored. I wonder what I would call this lord?"
"I, the First Class Chief of the Jingwu Division of the Great Qin Dynasty, arrested Qingshan!"
The young military attaché straightened up and spoke with a deep voice. It was Qingshan who Luo Chen had recruited from the Longwei Escort Agency to Ziwu Villa and later served as the captain of the law enforcement team of the Escorts Union.
Today, Qingshan is quite magnanimous, and his cultivation has reached the peak of second-rate.
Facing Li Xiongxin who was in the first-class mid-term, after Qingshan announced his name, he handed over his hand without being humble or arrogant:
“I didn’t know that Master Li’s birthday is today, so congratulations to Master Li!”
Hearing this, a strange look flashed in Li Xiongxin's eyes, and the expressions of everyone present softened. Since Qingshan opened his mouth to wish him a birthday, they thought he was not here to cause trouble.
"No problem, no problem! Anyone who comes is a guest!"
Li Xiongxin had a smile on his face, waved his hand, and ordered the servants on the side:
"Quick! Give Mr. Qing an extra seat and invite Mr. Qing to take your seat."
"There's no need to take a seat, I'm here on important matters!"
Before the servants could get busy, Qingshan suddenly refused.
Hearing this, everyone who had just softened their expressions suddenly looked suspicious.
Li Xiongxin's smile slowly faded, he looked at Qingshan and said hesitantly:
"Our Changyi Villa has nothing to do with the government. I wonder what the important thing is for Mr. Qing to come here?"
"I'm here to see your disciple Zhao Baishi. I wonder if he is here?"
Qingshan looked serious and looked at Li Xiongxin with bright eyes.
"Shiraishi?"
Li Xiongxin frowned and slowly looked at the middle-aged man in brocade robe next to him.
The middle-aged man in Jinpao was Li Yi, Li Xiongxin's son. When Li Xiongxin looked over, he also looked confused and said suspiciously:
"Master Qing, I wonder what you want from Bai Shi?"
"Is such that!"
Qingshan looked at Li Yi and said in a deep voice: "Half a month ago, a female body was found outside Pingyang City in Hanzhou. The deceased was a woman from a good family in Pingyang City. After investigation, we found that the woman was finally taken away from the street by Zhao Baishi.
He's gone! So I came to find Zhao Baishi and go to Jingwu Division for investigation!"
"A woman from a good family?"
When everyone heard this, they frowned.
Most of the people here are martial arts warriors. Who doesn't have a few lives on his hands? Let's not talk about whether the people in Changyi Villa will kill ordinary people, but what if they kill them? What's so strange about a few ordinary people dying in a martial arts fight?
?When will the government cause trouble for ordinary people by martial artists?
Suddenly, everyone looked at Qingshan and others and became hostile again.
The expressions of father and son Li Xiongxin and Li Yi also darkened. However, Changyi Villa had a reputation as a virtuous person. Of course they would not say that ordinary people's lives were worthless, let alone kill ordinary people at will.
So Li Yi immediately flicked his sleeves and said coldly:
"Did Mr. Qing make a mistake? We are in Qingzhou, and the man died in Pingyang City, Hanzhou. The two places are so far apart, and no one from our Changyi Villa goes there! Besides, who knows the reputation of my Villa? How could he kill him?
An ordinary person!"
"I think it's Master Li who remembered it wrong!"
Qingshan sneered and said with stern eyes: "Half a month ago, Zhao Baishi sent a letter for your villa to the Pingyang Escort Bureau in Pingyang City. This matter has been confirmed by my officer at the Pingyang Escort Bureau. Could it be that Master Li Shao has forgotten it? Moreover, the woman's body
The fatal injury was caused by your Changyi Villa's martial arts long-arm fist."
"this......"
Li Yi's eyes froze. He had really forgotten that Zhao Baishi went to Pingyang City to deliver a message. Now that he was pointed out, he was speechless. Moreover, he had no idea that Zhao Baishi had killed anyone.
Frowning slightly, Li Yi slowly looked at his father.
Li Xiongxin also frowned, but he didn't think this was a big deal, and he couldn't really hand over his apprentice because of this.
So after frowning, Li Xiongxin smiled and said:
"Haha! There is indeed such a thing as Shiraishi sending a letter. I and others have many things to do, so they forgot about this small matter! It's just that Shiraishi's murder is still open to question. I will ask him afterwards. Thank you, Mr. Qing, for informing me!"
As he said that, Li Xiongxin suddenly looked solemn: "But don't worry, Mr. Qing! The rules of my Changyi Villa are there. If Baishi really hurts an innocent person, I will deal with him severely and will never let him ruin my Changyi Villa."
The reputation of Yishan Villa!"
Li Xiongxin had a stern look on his face, but he said inside and outside his words that this was his own business and that he would not bother Jingwu Si.
Hearing this, Qingshan sneered in his heart, no longer polite, and said sternly:
"Family has family rules, and the state has national laws! I don't care what the rules of your Changyi Villa are, but Zhao Baishi has violated the laws of Daqin, and I must take him away today!"
Hearing this, Li Xiongxin glanced at Qingshan, then lowered his eyelids, and his expression became indifferent. A second-rate warrior was not qualified to say this to him. If Qingshan didn't represent the government, or if Li Xiongxin wasn't worried about his reputation.
, he will not pay attention to Qingshan.
Li Yi ignored Qingshan and just sneered.
But just because the Li family and his son didn't speak, it didn't mean that others could tolerate it.
"Asshole!"
With a loud shout, a warrior in the banquet who had received relief from Changyi Villa immediately slapped the table and stood up, glaring at Qingshan angrily.
But before the warrior could continue to speak, suddenly!
"Shuashuashua..."
There was a neat movement, and the Jingwusi agents standing in two rows beside the door suddenly took out a powerful crossbow from his hem and pointed it at the warrior who stood up.
Not only that, on both sides of the courtyard walls, dozens of Jingwusi policemen also appeared in vain, all of them pointing their powerful crossbows at the people in the courtyard.
Seeing this scene, everyone at the birthday banquet suddenly fell silent and opened their mouths. The warrior who had just stood up did not dare to move.
The faces of the Li family's father and son were so gloomy at the moment that they could drip with water. Li Yi's eyes were filled with anger, and he gritted his teeth and shouted:
"Lord Qing! What do you mean by this? Could it be that your Jingwu Division wants to destroy the door of my Changyi Villa?"
"Master Li Shaozhuang is joking!"
Qingshan Pi smiled and said: "I have said that the family has family rules and the state has national laws! Da Qin is different from other dynasties. One person will not break the law and kill the nine tribes. I am just here to capture Zhao Baishi. I only need to hand Zhao Baishi over.
My officer, I will leave immediately! Of course, if you want to resist the law, that’s a different matter!”
"Say something else? Haha..."
Li Xiongxin looked up to the sky and laughed as if he had heard some joke.
After laughing, the irritated Li Xiongxin began to show off his mid-level aura.
However, Li Xiongxin was concerned about his reputation, so he refrained from taking action and said coldly:
"Boy! You'd better not threaten us in our Changyi Villa, otherwise you guys won't be enough! I will investigate the matter at Baishi. You should leave as soon as possible. I won't care about what happened before!"
"That's right, let's go!"
Feeling the first-class aura of Li Xiongxin, everyone at the banquet calmed down for a while, and many people shouted and cursed:
"Don't be ignorant of good and evil. Just because Master Li has a good heart doesn't mean we can tolerate it. You'd better leave as soon as possible."
"The disciples of Changyi Villa are all chivalrous and righteous, and have a good reputation. How can they kill ordinary people? Stop biting people here!"
"That's right! Even if a disciple of Changyi Villa makes a small mistake, Villa Master Li will deal with it impartially, so you don't need to worry about it here."
Everyone yelled and cursed, stood up one after another, and glared at Qingshan and others.
Qingshan remained unmoved. After scanning the crowd, he stared at Li Xiongxin and said sternly:
"Master Li has great martial arts skills. If you don't agree, I really can't take Zhao Baishi away today! But you have to think clearly. Zhao Baishi has violated the laws of the Qin Dynasty. The Jingwu Division will definitely take him away!"
Speaking of this, Qingshan showed a sneer on his lips and continued:
"If I don't take Zhao Baishi away today, my Lord Ziye, the commander of Jingwu Division, will come to pick him up tomorrow. If Lord Ziye can't take him away, then His Highness Prince Wu of Great Qin will come in person. If you can do it,
His Highness King Wu can’t take anyone away, so I...will obey you!"
"Well!"
As soon as Qingshan's voice fell, there was a sudden silence in the courtyard. Everyone seemed to have their necks pinched, and all the yelling and cursing voices were stuck in their throats.
King Wu of the Qin Dynasty, Luo Chen of Ziwu Villa! The youngest Xiantian in the world, used the formation of the early stage of Xiantian to kill the two mid-term Xiantian masters of Nanjiao Kingdom and Daqian, and led Ziwu Villa to destroy the existence of Nanjiao Kingdom and Daqian in one fell swoop
, everyone in the world knows it, everyone knows it, who is not afraid of this kind of person?
Moreover, it is said that the reason why His Highness King Wu rebelled was because a disciple of Ziwu Villa was assassinated by the former royal family. He destroyed two countries for the sake of one disciple. Who would not be afraid of such a ruthless person?
Immediately, everyone hurriedly swallowed the words in their throats, closed their mouths tightly, and did not dare to say any more.
Li Xiongxin's expression also froze, and his eyelids twitched wildly.
However, Li Xiongxin had seen big storms after all and was not easily frightened. He looked at Qingshan sternly and said coldly:
"The boy is quite good at raising banners! But who do you think His Highness King Wu is? He would come to my villa to get a little disciple for such a trivial matter? You really think I am a three-year-old child!"
"Whether I am raising a flag or not, Master Li should be aware of it!"
Qingshan sneered: "His Royal Highness King Wu destroyed two countries for the sake of his disciples. In his heart, it doesn't matter whether it's a big or small thing, only whether he needs to take action or not!"
"The laws of the Qin Dynasty are what King Wu values the most. He reiterated the laws of the Qin Dynasty at the Hanzhou official ceremony more than two months ago. He said, 'The laws of the Qin Dynasty must be obeyed. Ordinary people must abide by them, and the rivers and lakes must abide by them! If the rivers and lakes do not abide by them, they must abide by them."
, then he will march on the rivers and lakes!' This word has spread in the Jianghu, and Zhuangzhu Li must have heard it! The Jingwu Division was established by King Wu in order to maintain the majesty of Da Qin's laws in the Jianghu. If Zhuang Li dares to resist the law,
, I believe that His Highness King Wu will never mind using Changyi Villa as a model to kill chickens... to scare monkeys!"
The voice was cold, and at the end of the sentence, Qingshan's eyes were filled with cruel coldness.
Hearing the words 'kill the chicken to scare the monkey', Li Yi looked at his father fiercely, and Li Xiongxin also trembled in his heart.
Li Xiongxin didn't believe everything Qingshan said, but he knew what Luo Chen said on Hanzhou official roads, and later established the Jingwu Division. Li Xiongxin was not sure whether Luo Chen really regarded Changyi Villa as that chicken.
, if that's the case, then Changyi Villa can...
Staring at Qingshan with slightly squinted eyes, Li Xiongxin gritted his teeth and weighed quickly in his mind.
After a while, Li Xiongxin suddenly shouted towards the backyard:
"Shiraishi, come out!"
When he heard the shouting, the young man in white shirt who had been eavesdropping behind the backyard door suddenly trembled, walked out with a body as thick as a layer of chaff, and then came to Li Xiongxin's side under the gaze of everyone.
"Disciple has met the master!"
Zhao Baishi, a young man in white shirt, saluted Li Xiongxin, then lowered his body and did not dare to get up.
Li Xiongxin did not pay attention to Zhao Baishi at this time, but pointed at Qingshan and said to Zhao Baishi:
"Go, follow them! My disciples at Changyi Villa are upright and upright, not afraid of slanting shadows! If they want to investigate, let them investigate!"
"No, Master! They are officials and they will give in to you!"
Zhao Baishi immediately fell to his knees on the ground.
"They dare?"
Li Xiongxin's eyes widened, his aura surged, and he said coldly:
"They keep upholding the laws of the Qin Dynasty. If they dare to trample on the laws themselves, I will be the first one not to agree, and the entire world will not agree. By then, countless people in the world will shed their lives and blood for this! You can go ahead, as long as you
If you don’t do it, no one will dare to beat you into submission!”
The voice was rolling. Although the words were spoken to Zhao Baishi, Li Xiongxin's eyes were looking at Qingshan sternly.
Influenced by Li Xiongxin, everyone in the hospital was suddenly filled with pride, slapping the table and shouting:
"Brother Baishi, don't worry, you can go ahead. If they dare to torture you to extract a confession, we will never agree."
"Yes! If they really dare to do this, we will dare to ask His Highness King Wu for an explanation!"
"That's right! Go boldly. If they don't abide by the law, the entire world will fight back."
The crowd's voices were filled with pride, as if they were cheering for the soldiers going out on an expedition.
But Zhao Baishi was about to cry but had no tears at this time.
"But, but..."
His body was trembling, and Zhao Baishi, who was kneeling on the ground, buried his head deeply in the ground.
Seeing Zhao Baishi like this, Li Xiongxin finally realized something was wrong, and his heart suddenly became cold. He knew Zhao Baishi very well. Judging from Zhao Baishi's appearance at this time, it seemed that he was really killing good people...
Angry in his heart, Li Xiongxin quickly thought about how to save the reputation of Changyi Villa.
While Li Xiongxin was thinking, Qingshan on the opposite side suddenly waved his hand:
"Take it!"
Upon hearing the order, the four detectives immediately put away their crossbows and walked quickly towards Zhao Baishi.
Zhao Baishi was a weakling at this time. He didn't dare to resist in front of Li Xiongxin. He could only watch helplessly being arrested and quickly had his big holes pressed, and then he was handcuffed with fine steel locks.
After capturing Zhao Baishi, Qingshan was relieved, and he raised his hands to Li Xiongxin and said with a smile:
"Master Li is a righteous man, I admire him! Master Li, please rest assured that the Jingwu Division upholds the laws of the Qin Dynasty, will abide by the laws of the Qin Dynasty, and will deal with it impartially! Farewell!"
After saying that, Qingshan led the arresters and turned around to escort Zhao Baishi away.
As soon as Qingshan left, the dozens of police officers waiting on the courtyard wall disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Looking at Qingshan and others leaving, Li Xiongxin turned back to look at Li Yi. Li Yi understood and immediately followed Qingshan and others.
After the people who should leave left, Li Xiongxin immediately returned to his smile, held his hands in front of everyone and said with a smile:
"Haha! Everyone, it was just a small episode. The banquet will continue, continue! Pour the wine!"
With a smile on his face, Li Xiongxin held the wine glass and exchanged glasses with everyone like a normal person.
Everyone was also smiling happily, as if nothing had happened, and continued to cater to each other lively.
However, although everyone was smiling, everyone knew in their hearts that Da Qin was different from the previous dynasties, and the world was about to change...
